Speculation grows around Flynn and Mueller probe

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s sprawling investigation has spawned a new guessing game in Washington centered on retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, President Trump's former national security adviser.

Despite what some experts say is almost-indisputable evidence of wrongdoing — and reports that Mueller has gathered enough evidence to indict — no charges have been filed against the onetime intelligence officer.

The question for many is whether — or when — Flynn will be indicted by Mueller. Others speculate that he might already be cooperating with the special counsel’s investigation.

Flynn, who stepped down after a mere 24 days in the White House, is seen as vulnerable for a number of reasons.

or negotiating. We know he's bucking for immunity; I don't think Mueller will give it to him, but may negotiate for a lighter sentence IF Flynn gives up something/someone(s) very valuable.

Always the patriot, Mueller doesn't want to upstage a US President-- even a bogus one-- while overseas.
